L’administration de la justice au Maroc à l’épreuve de l’échappée des usages sur les réseaux socionumériques
The Administration of Justice in Morocco put to the Test of Escaping Uses on Social Media

Summary/Abstract: Today’s social media (SM) are illustrated by the extensive attention they accord to fast-moving news stories, especially the judicial ones with ruffling effects. These modern media play a real role in shaping attitudes and trends due to their great impact on perceptual experiences and in forging the intellectual, political, and social understandings of individuals, which ultimately shape public opinion, that latent force which, once moved or provoked, can make noise and produce unexpected social reactions. This study aims to put into perspective the effect of social networking platforms on the course and action of justice, where we found that the publication of crime details and news of inquiries, investigations, and trials has a clear repercussion on the exercise of justice. In this regard, and in order to ensure the proper administration of justice, the Moroccan legislator and social platforms have enacted a number of provisions and standards to preserve judicial action, respect human rights, and guarantee the principles inherent to the requirements of a fair judgment. However, it appeared to us that the current provisions do not fully meet this ambition. Therefore, the study concluded with some recommendations aimed at achieving the necessary consonance between the requirements of justice and freedom of expression.
